In her fourth poetry collection, Sarah Agnew takes the reader on a poetic journey through community and individual crises of bushfires and the global pandemic, loneliness and friendship, and the grief following her beloved Dad’s sudden death.
With characteristic courage and vulnerability, these poems will lead you through lament and healing, loss and love, and the continued unfolding of self-understanding.

we hear a voice of lament – a voice that tells it as it is, true to our experience, true to our times. I am grateful … that Sarah sings an honest song
this is poetry that invites a noticing of the kind that made possible the words themselves; and that moves the reader toward a fuller silence that enlarges our humanity
This sensitive collection speaks with an intimate and immediate voice, offering a timely illustration of honest grief and rare, rampant hope.
